Description

“The Bearded Keeper of the Splendor”
German Expressionist & German Expressionist Figurative
ArNoUx, 2025
Acrylic on painted wooden bench (approx. 30–32” x 10–11” x 18–20”)

In this German Expressionist intervention, ArNoUx transforms a simple wooden bench into a spiritual landscape. At the top emerges the bearded guardian — the keeper of all this beauty — watching over the colors and the energy of the studio. Around him, angelic forms descend through the sky, their gestures carried by swirling greens, violets, and earthy ochres. The bench becomes a sacred ground where creativity meets the divine, where every brushstroke opens a path between earth and heaven.
